Should I Care about Your Opinion? : Detection of Opinion Interestingness and Dynamics in Social Media

In this paper, we describe a set of reusable text processing components for extracting opinionated information from social media, rating it for interestingness, and for detecting opinion events. We have developed applications in GATE to extract named entities, terms and events and to detect opinions about them, which are then used as the starting point for opinion event detection. The opinions are then aggregated over larger sections of text, to give some overall sentiment about topics and documents, and also some degree of information about interestingness based on opinion diversity. We go beyond traditional opinion mining techniques in a number of ways: by focusing on specific opinion-target extraction related to key terms and events, by examining and dealing with a number of specific linguistic phenomena, by analysing and visualising opinion dynamics over time, and by aggregating the opinions in different ways for a more flexible view of the information contained in the documents.EU/27023

Rule-based Sentiment Degree Measurement of Opinion Mining of Community Participatory in the Government of Surabaya

Diskominfo Surabaya, as a government agency, received much community participatory for improvement of governmental services, with increasing number of 698, 2717, 4176 and 4298 participatory data respectively in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. It is challenging for Diskominfo Surabaya to set a target by giving the response back within 24 hours. Due to task complexity to address the degree of participatory and to categorize the group of participatory, they faced difficulty to fulfill the target. In this research, we present a new system for measuring the sentiment degree of community participatory. We provide 5 functions in our system, which are: (1) Data Collection, (2) Data Preprocessing, (3) Text Mining, (4) Sentiment Analysis and (5) Validation. We propose our rule-based technique for the sentiment analysis of opinion mining with detection of 8 important parts, which are (1) Verb, (2) Adjective, (3) Preposition, (4) Noun, (5) Adverb, (6) Symbol, (7) Phrase, and (8) Complimentary. For applicability of our proposed system, we made a series of experiment with 410 data of community participatory in Twitter for Diskominfo Surabaya and compared with other sentiment classification algorithms which are SVM and Naive Bayes Classifier. Our system performed 77.32% rate of accuracy and outperformed to other comparing algorithms

Basic tasks of sentiment analysis

Subjectivity detection is the task of identifying objective and subjective sentences. Objective sentences are those which do not exhibit any sentiment. So, it is desired for a sentiment analysis engine to find and separate the objective sentences for further analysis, e.g., polarity detection. In subjective sentences, opinions can often be expressed on one or multiple topics. Aspect extraction is a subtask of sentiment analysis that consists in identifying opinion targets in opinionated text, i.e., in detecting the specific aspects of a product or service the opinion holder is either praising or complaining about

Semantic Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Data

Internet and the proliferation of smart mobile devices have changed the way information is created, shared, and spreads, e.g., microblogs such as Twitter, weblogs such as LiveJournal, social networks such as Facebook, and instant messengers such as Skype and WhatsApp are now commonly used to share thoughts and opinions about anything in the surrounding world. This has resulted in the proliferation of social media content, thus creating new opportunities to study public opinion at a scale that was never possible before. Naturally, this abundance of data has quickly attracted business and research interest from various fields including marketing, political science, and social studies, among many others, which are interested in questions like these: Do people like the new Apple Watch? Do Americans support ObamaCare? How do Scottish feel about the Brexit? Answering these questions requires studying the sentiment of opinions people express in social media, which has given rise to the fast growth of the field of sentiment analysis in social media, with Twitter being especially popular for research due to its scale, representativeness, variety of topics discussed, as well as ease of public access to its messages. Here we present an overview of work on sentiment analysis on Twitter.Comment: Microblog sentiment analysis; Twitter opinion mining; In the Encyclopedia on Social Network Analysis and Mining (ESNAM), Second edition. 201
